I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up and they will reset the importer for you. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

For instructions on how to do a Xanga import, please see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-xanga/

Note that you must open the .zip export folder you get from Xanga and import ALL of the files included in the .zip folder individually.

If you continue to have trouble with your import, please try a different browser. http://browsehappy.com You might also try the WordPress importer rather than the Xanga-specific importer.

@chunhon – It looks like the importer may have gotten stuck. I went ahead and reset it. Can you let me know if all of your posts were successfully transferred over here?

@chunhon – I’ve reset the importer again. Can you let me know how large the import is (how many posts, pages, etc)? It looks like 300 or so posts have been imported.

approximately 100 Posts…

Great! Thanks for passing that along. That shouldn’t cause the uploader to time out due to file size. Just to be clear, the posts aren’t included in the list here correct?

Also, do you receive an error message similar to “This file already exists” when you try the upload?

Hi there,

I have reset the importer for you. Can you try breaking up the import into smaller files just as a test?

Sorry for the inconvenience!
